Popular Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh says forgiveness is is necessary for one’s growth and as such, she has forgiven her ex-husband Olakunle Churchill.
AllNews reports that Tonto and Churchill got married in 2015 and separated due to infidelity among other issues.
The duo are not new to dragging each other on social media platforms and the most notable ones are the accusations laid by the mother of one, that her ex-husband was fetish, a bi-sexual, into internet fraud and only lasts 40 seconds in bed.
However, during a live chat with Dele Momodu, the publisher of Ovation magazine, Tonto spoke on forgiveness saying “A man I love and respect always talked to me about Forgiveness, and I have come to realize that Forgiveness is not about the next person.
“I know that Forgiveness is not about the next person but the explanation I got recently really wowed me. It says I have forgiven you not because you have to be forgiven, and I have forgiven you because I do not want to put myself in a place of stagnation when it comes to growth, I do not want to put myself in a position of stagnation when it comes to love, i do not want to put myself in a place of worship, progressing, my career.
“Forgiveness is a whole lot, and I only just realized that the bible says that if we do not forgive, God cannot forgive us. All these things are in the bible, but it never really made an impact on me until someone explained it.
“I think forgiveness is essential for one’s growth.”
Asked if she has forgiven her son’s father, “Oh yes, especially him. I forgive him and wish him the best, for my son’s sake. I do. Why not?”
She added that “there are people who she has forgiven but would never have a relationship with again.”
Tonto and Churchill’s union produced a son, King Andrea.
